1、java.lang.String
1 基本定义
public final class String implements java.io.Serializable, Comparable<String>, CharSequence {
/** The value is used for character storage. */
private final char value[];
/** The offset is the first index of the storage that is used. */
private final int offset;
/** The count is the number of characters in the String. */
private final int count;
/** Cache the hash code for the string */
private int hash; // Default to 0
/** use serialVersionUID from JDK 1.0.2 for interoperability */
private static final long serialVersionUID = -6849794470754667710L;可以看出，String 类实现了 Serializable 接口代表其可被序列化处理， 且被final 修饰，故其不能被继承，故保证了其jdk中基本类的特性，
其值则由final类型的char数组保存其值，所以其值一旦被初始化就不会被改变，即使 String s1= "s1";s1='"s2";需要明白的是只是使s1指向了另外一个字符串地址，另外指定缓存字符串的hash值为0。
可以看出String 的实现是基于一个char数组而来
2 构造方法
public String(String original) {
int size = original.count;
char[] originalValue = original.value;
char[] v;
if (originalValue.length > size) {
// The array representing the String is bigger than the new
// String itself. Perhaps this constructor is being called
// in order to trim the baggage, so make a copy of the array.
int off = original.offset;
v = Arrays.copyOfRange(originalValue, off, off+size);
} else {
// The array representing the String is the same
// size as the String, so no point in making a copy.
v = originalValue;
}
this.offset = 0;
this.count = size;
this.value = v;
}
public String(char value[]) {
int size = value.length;
this.offset = 0;
this.count = size;
this.value = Arrays.copyOf(value, size);
}
public String(char value[], int offset, int count) {
if (offset < 0) {
throw new StringIndexOutOfBoundsException(offset);
}
if (count < 0) {
throw new StringIndexOutOfBoundsException(count);
}
// Note: offset or count might be near -1>>>1.
if (offset > value.length - count) {
throw new StringIndexOutOfBoundsException(offset + count);
}
this.offset = 0;
this.count = count;
this.value = Arrays.copyOfRange(value, offset, offset+count);
}
此处我们只需要关心它的三个构造方法，默认构造方法就不分析了，剩下两个均以接受char数组为参数的构造方法
一个是直接获取char数组的长度，然后调用array.copy方法（系统中的system.copyOf（）
public static char[] copyOf(char[] original, int newLength) {
char[] copy = new char[newLength];
System.arraycopy(original, 0, copy, 0,
Math.min(original.length, newLength));
return copy;
}另一个构造方法不同的地方在于传入了长度和偏移量，然后同样调用的是上述地城的system.copyOf()
3 常用方法
length(),empty() 通过检查数组的长度来返回数组
而charAt()方法，则通过数组的下标，返回数组当前的char元素
public int length() {
return count;
}
/**
* Returns <tt>true</tt> if, and only if, {@link #length()} is <tt>0</tt>.
*
* @return <tt>true</tt> if {@link #length()} is <tt>0</tt>, otherwise
* <tt>false</tt>
*
* @since 1.6
*/
public boolean isEmpty() {
return count == 0;
}
/**
* Returns the <code>char</code> value at the
* specified index. An index ranges from <code>0</code> to
* <code>length() - 1</code>. The first <code>char</code> value of the sequence
* is at index <code>0</code>, the next at index <code>1</code>,
* and so on, as for array indexing.
*
* <p>If the <code>char</code> value specified by the index is a
* <a href="Character.html#unicode">surrogate</a>, the surrogate
* value is returned.
*
* @param index the index of the <code>char</code> value.
* @return the <code>char</code> value at the specified index of this string.
* The first <code>char</code> value is at index <code>0</code>.
* @exception IndexOutOfBoundsException if the <code>index</code>
* argument is negative or not less than the length of this
* string.
*/
public char charAt(int index) {
if ((index < 0) || (index >= count)) {
throw new StringIndexOutOfBoundsException(index);
}
return value[index + offset];
}codePointAt()
码点&代码单元，是从Unicode标准而来的术语，Unicode标准的核心是一个编码字符集， 它为每一个字符分配一个唯一数字。Unicode标准始终使用16进制数字，并且在书写时在前面加上U+， 如字符“A”的编码为“U+0041”。 代码点是指可用于编码字符集的数字。编码字符集定义一个有效的代码点范围， 但是并不一定将字符分配给所有这些代码点。有效的Unicode代码点范围是U+0000至U+10FFFF。 Unicode4.0将字符分配给一百多万个代码点中的96382个代码点。
public int codePointAt(int index) {
if ((index < 0) || (index >= count)) {
throw new StringIndexOutOfBoundsException(index);
}
return Character.codePointAtImpl(value, offset + index, offset + count);
}所以该方法的作用就是返回给定索引的代码点
接下来比较重点的两个方法
equals() 和 compareTo()
public boolean equals(Object anObject) {
if (this == anObject) {
return true;
}
if (anObject instanceof String) {
String anotherString = (String)anObject;
int n = count;
if (n == anotherString.count) {
char v1[] = value;
char v2[] = anotherString.value;
int i = offset;
int j = anotherString.offset;
while (n-- != 0) {
if (v1[i++] != v2[j++])
return false;
}
return true;
}
}
return false;
}equals() 可以看出String 是被类来对待的，然后通过遍历类的属性来对 数组的长度和value进行对比的
public int compareTo(String anotherString) {
int len1 = count;
int len2 = anotherString.count;
int n = Math.min(len1, len2);
char v1[] = value;
char v2[] = anotherString.value;
int i = offset;
int j = anotherString.offset;
if (i == j) {
int k = i;
int lim = n + i;
while (k < lim) {
char c1 = v1[k];
char c2 = v2[k];
if (c1 != c2) {
return c1 - c2;
}
k++;
}
} else {
while (n-- != 0) {
char c1 = v1[i++];
char c2 = v2[j++];
if (c1 != c2) {
return c1 - c2;
}
}
}
return len1 - len2;
}compareTo（）实际上也是对数组进行遍历，然后比较大小。
其他的方法的话，就不记下了
